Hongxing Fund is an investment fund, Penguin, Alibaba, Wutuan, Rice, etc., many large domestic companies have shares in this fund.

This fund company is not only rich, but also very energetic.

For this kind of fund company, Zhou Qiang was somewhat jealous, and he did not take the initiative to approach, and now the other party took the initiative to find the door.

As his net worth became more and more abundant, Zhou Qiang had already expected that sooner or later there would be this day.

As for whether to cooperate with this fund company, it is difficult to say.

The main thing is to see what resources and relationships the other party can bring to the digital smell company.

Funds, neither he nor Kari lacked.

The place of meeting is about a time-honored restaurant in Baidao City, and the dishes are very authentic.

Two days ago, Zhou Qiang brought his parents and Xu Ruyun to eat here, and the crab roe xiaolongbao here is a must.

Hengqin oysters, a very famous dish in Baidao City, Zhou Qiang also likes it very much, it is fat and delicious, the taste is sweet, and it is also a rare delicacy.

Zhou Qiang had heard of Wang Zhenqi's name for a long time, and before he came, he had also checked some of his information, seen each other's photos, and had a more detailed understanding.

Zhou Qiang has real estate in Baidao City, and he is also half of the host, this time he is the host, and he came to the hotel in advance to make arrangements.

Not long after he came, An Ningya and Wang Zhenqi also arrived.

Wang Zhenqi is in his 40s, wearing a rimless glasses, wearing a suit, medium-sized, and easy-going person.

"Mr. Wang, I have admired the name for a long time. Zhou Qiang said.

"Dong Zhou, I am really young and promising, I am as old as you, and I am still working in a foreign bank. Wang Zhenqi said.

"You've won a prize. ”

After greeting each other, Zhou Qiang invited the two to a private room on the second floor.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. An, look at the menu, what do you want to eat. Zhou Qiang made a gesture of please.

"Then I'm welcome, I've heard for a long time that there are many delicacies in Baidao City, but this is the first time I've come. An Ning Ya said.

"Mr. Wang, have you ever been to Baidao City before?"

Wang Zhenqi pushed his glasses: "Oh, many years ago, I remember, Baidao City was not so prosperous at that time." ”

"With the establishment of the Greater Bay Area, Baidao City should develop better and better. An Ning Ya said.

"I go to Pengcheng and Xiangjiang more, although it is more prosperous there, but the scenery and climate are not as good as here, and this side is quite suitable for living. Wang Zhenqi said.

The three of them chatted for a while, and after ordering the food, they got to the point.

"Chairman Zhou, I heard that the research room of the digital scent company is located in Baidao City, I don't know if I can visit it. Wang Zhenqi said.

"Mr. Wang, I'm just an ordinary shareholder, basically I don't care much, if you want to visit, I can help you ask the person in charge of the company. Zhou Qiang said.

"I heard that the head of the company, Carry, used to be the chairman of the Ackerson Cinema Company?"

"Yes, the original intention of Cary's research on digital scents was to hope that the audience could have a better movie-watching experience. Zhou Qiang said.

"I think that the application of digital scents should not be limited to cinemas, but can be used in many ways. Wang Zhenqi said.

"I invested at the time, also because the future of the digital scent company is good. Zhou Qiang said.

"How much money did you invest in the last round?" Wang Zhenqi said curiously.

"Six million meters. ”

"A few points. ”

"Three points. Zhou Qiang said.

It's not a secret, there's nothing that can't be said.

"That is, the last valuation was 20 million meters. Wang Zhenqi said.

"Not bad. Zhou Qiang nodded: "The reason why Kari asked me to raise funds is not only because the project burns money, but also because of the resources in my hands." ”

"If we invest, we can also bring in certain resources. Wang Zhenqi said.

"For example?"

"I have a friend who has a good relationship with the patent office, so it will be easier for him to say hello and apply for a patent. Wang Zhenqi said.

Zhou Qiang nodded, the more patents, the greater the impact on the market industry.

Take Nokia as an example, many people only know that it used to be the boss of the mobile phone industry, but now it is in decline, and no one may pick up the mobile phone when it is thrown on the street.

But as everyone knows, Nokia is very moist, collects patent fees, and receives soft hands.

More than 40 technology companies around the world have to pay patent fees to Nokia, including Fruit, Warwick, Four-Star, Xiaosoft, Soni, etc., which is simply a pit, and they make money while lying down.

"I have a good relationship with the senior management of China Film, and if the technology of the digital scent company is mature, I can ask him to help promote it. Wang Zhenqi said.

China Film is the big brother in the film and television industry, this relationship is too hard, and Zhou Qiang does not doubt Wang Zhenqi's words, the other party's connections are there, there is no need to lie.

"Mr. Wang, personally, I would like to welcome you to invest in the digital scent company, but the person in charge of this company is Carry, and he has to make the decision in the end. Zhou Qiang said.

"Dong Zhou, then you bother to help me make peace. Wang Zhenqi said.

"No problem. ”

"Thank you so much, I toast you. Wang Zhenqi raised his glass.

This meal can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.

The two sides did not mention the market value of the new round of financing, because everyone is not bad for money, and what Zhou Qiang values more is that the resources brought by Hongxing Fund are more and less, and the problem is not big.

Wang Zhenqi is interested in the future of digital scent companies.

……

Half past eight in the evening.

Zhou Qiang sent a video call to Kari.

"Hi Zhou, I'm preparing breakfast, would you like to have something together. Kari said.

"No, I've had a lot of dinner and I've brushed my teeth, I don't want to brush it a second time. Zhou Qiang said.

"Is the Hundred Islands City Research Lab going well?" said Kari.

"It's going well, there's time, you should come and have a look. Zhou Qiang said.

"I think the same way, when things are arranged, I will go to Baidao City in two days, I miss the food in that city. Kari said.

"Carry, I was approached by a domestic fund that wanted to invest in digital scent companies. Zhou Qiang said.

"Which fund?"

"Hung Hing Fund. ”

"I know, it's said that this fund has a great background. Kari said.

"yes, it's like the Wall Street crowd that controls the fund. Zhou Qiang said.

"That's really powerful. Kari said.

"At noon today, I met with the person in charge of Hung Hing Fund. Zhou Qiang said.

"How does it feel?"

"Not bad. ”

"What do you think about financing?"

"You're the head of the company, and you're in charge. Zhou Qiang said.

"I trust your vision and want to hear your advice. Kari said.

"I recommend accepting their financing. Zhou Qiang said.

Kari was silent for a moment: "OK, how many shares do you think is appropriate?"

"About twenty percent. Zhou Qiang said.

"I understand the urine nature of these fund companies, if we don't accept investment, they will turn around and invest and support, a company similar to ours, I don't like them very much. Kari said helplessly.

"I don't like it either, but that's the reality, and I'm sure you know better than I do. Zhou Qiang said.

"I'm always worried that these fund companies will affect the direction and decisions of the company. Kari said.

"Then AB share financing, the company's decision-making power is still controlled by us, and they only have the right to dividends. Zhou Qiang said.

"yes, I love the idea. Kari laughed.

"Me too. ”
